Overview

In addition to providing expert-level support to subscription customers, Media Temple's award-winning CloudTech team can assist you on an hourly basis with a number of system administration and infrastructure architecture services. We do not assist with software development work. This article outlines some of the more common services our CloudTech team provides for our Fully Managed Cloud customers, though it is not an exhaustive list.

AWS Architect Implementation Hours

Our AWS experts will make infrastructure changes on your behalf, coordinating with your development/systems staff as necessary. Architecting includes setup and configuration of AWS resources and services, but does not include software deployment, configuration, or coding.

Cloud Cost Optimization Report

Don't pay for AWS server capacity you don't need. We'll monitor your systems for 30 days and analyze usage patterns. From this data, we'll come up with specific suggestions for a cost-optimized AWS architecture. You can usually find 20-25% cost savings that you can pull the trigger on immediately (no re-configuration required).

Advanced Application and Server Monitoring

We'll set up application and server monitoring following industry best practices so you have the data you need to understand what's going on with your services at all times. We'll also work with you to develop Priority 1 (P1) issue workflows, like "out of disk space" events. With your authorization, a CloudTech Engineer can proactively work with you to resolve the issue where possible. Note that this service does not include application configuration fixes - only server.

Automatic System Backups (Configure)

Our AWS experts will make infrastructure changes on your behalf, coordinating with your development/systems staff as necessary. Architecting includes setup and configuration of AWS resources and services, but does not include software deployment, configuration, or coding.

Education Services

We offer 1:1 consultations with our award-winning CloudTech team to answer your questions and provide personal tutorials on any of our services.

Disk Usage Report

It's pretty easy to lose track of how much stuff we have, and the digital world is no exception. Our CloudTech team can help you keep your server up and running with a disk usage audit that focuses on log files, large databases, and other common causes of storage overuse.

Backup Services

Automatic System Backups (Restore)

We'll help you restore your MT-configured backup if something goes wrong and you need to get back on your feet.

Front-End Performance Analysis

Faulty code, outdated plugins, and other front-end problems can slow your site load times to a crawl.

This service would benefit anyone who demands fast and responsive websites—which is just about everyone.

The right server settings will give you a faster, more efficient site or application. Let the CloudTech team fine-tune yours for maximum performance.

Security Audit

A Cloud engineer will audit your server security settings and make recommendations on how to improve security from best practices.

Mass email may create an unwanted queue that slows down your server and further delays delivery of time-sensitive data. Let CloudTech help by clearing out email data and identifying sources of spam to resolve these issues.

Having trouble pinpointing why your website or application is performing slowly? You could spend days figuring it out—or you could let the Cloud team get to the bottom of performance issues and make recommendations based on our findings.
